Not me. The gay life style is not healthy, they have higher suicide rates, they harbor more disease, and they are trying to recruit our kinds into a sick unhealthy, unnatural lifestyle. HELL NO!
The Case for Gay Reparation
Other countries are taking steps to atone for their shameful past treatment of L.G.B.T. people. The United States should too.
The New York Police Department apologized last week to the gay community for the 1969 raid of the Stonewall Inn, the fallout of which is widely credited with spurring the contemporary gay rights movement at home and abroad. Timed to coincide with Stonewall’s 50th anniversary, the statement by Commissioner James P. O’Neill said in part: “The actions taken by the N.Y.P.D. were wrong — plain and simple” and “the actions and the laws were discriminatory and oppressive, and for that, I apologize.” The apology is the culmination of a decades-old struggle by gay activists for recognition of wrongdoing on the part of the police — one that few activists thought could ever become a reality.
